reading the excellences of reciting Salat upon the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Also keep in view the admonitions for not reciting it.

Always keep a Tasbih with you and recite a specific number of Salat daily. Other than this, develop a habit of performing Zikr and reciting Salat upon the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم even in your leisure time instead of indulging in useless conversation. In order to adopt all these noble traits associate yourselves with the Madani environment of the Madani movement of the devotees of Rasool, Dawat-e-Islami, and render your services in its departments and gain blessings of this world and the Hereafter.

Sunnahs and manners of drinking water

  ۔1Do not drink water in one breath like a camel. But rather, drink it in two or three breaths. Recite (بِسۡـمِ اللّٰه) when you begin to drink it and when you have finished, recite (اَلۡحَمۡدُلِلّٰهِ). (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 3, pp. 352, Hadees 1892)

  ۔2The Noblest Rasool صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰى عَـلَيْهِ وَاٰلِـهٖ وَسَـلَّم forbade breathing or blowing into the pot. (Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 3, pp. 475, Hadees 3728)

  ۔3Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَيْـه has stated: Breathing in container is an act done by animals, moreover, keep your mouth away from container when you breathe as the breath is sometimes poisonous (i.e. keep glass away from mouth when exhaling breath). Do not blow on hot tea or milk in order to cool it down, but wait for a while, when it gets a little cold, then drink it. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 6, pp. 77) Nevertheless, there is no harm in blowing onto water after reciting Salat and Salam upon the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم with the intention of seeking cure.

  ۔4Recite (بِسۡـمِ اللّٰه) before drinking water.

  ۔5Drink in small sips by sucking the water, big sips cause liver disease.

  ۔6Drink water in three breaths.

  ۔7Drink water with the right hand and in sitting position.
